In the March 30 Maine Sunday Telegram, Dylan Tusinski and others wrote a front-page article titled “Early into President Trump’s 2nd term, supporters in Maine say ‘So far, so good.’” The writers described Trump’s supporters in Maine as mostly not concerned by “recent scandals and leaks.” Maine supporters of democracy are holding protests, calling and […]
